Welcome to the Campbell Gallery

In the fall of 2003, basically on a whim, my wife and I decided to sign up for an oil painting class at a community center around the corner.  I've never painted before, and it's been 25-30 years since I've done any serious drawing in elementary school.  I'll continue to post the results of our efforts here.  Click on the thumbnail to view; these are oils, so I'd suggest stepping back from your computer screen for a better viewing.  As my hero, Winston Churchill, said, "Happy are the painters for they shall not be lonely. Light and colour, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end, or almost to the end, of the day."
